Mobile application creation system

A computer implemented method and system for creating a mobile application provides a mobile application development software (MADS) and pre-coded software components (PCSCs) encapsulated in a mobile application creation interface (MACI). The MADS dynamically maps data to be rendered in the mobile application with one or more data sources and launches the MACI. The MADS creates one or more composite software components (CSCs) by combining more than one of distinct software components selected from component sources and/or the PCSCs. The MADS inserts one or more PCSCs and/or CSCs into the MACI. The MADS generates one or more recommendations for adding one or more characteristic objects associated with the mobile application. The MADS creates the mobile application using the inserted PCSCs, the created composite software components, the recommendations, the dynamically mapped data, and/or an adaptively configured application programming interfaces that facilitate backend integration of the mobile application with the user device.
